Once again, an illustrator and photoshop work.
i made and edited the shapes in illustrator then ported over to photoshop for touchups.

I am pleased with the outcome of the colors however.. me being such an idiot i recolored at low-resolution.. fortunately i have the white but less vibrant version in full res; 300 dpi raster and vector..

as for the true meaning of 'keep holding on'.. well all i can say is that i have quit or taken a really long break before
but now i am back and well... like most phoenixes i will rise out of the ashes and destroy the evil war lords! *woops*
did i say war lords i meant, design barriers!
